Netting of the Legtel a to. re—A3rmtakitaigne
of the State bli itia.
The proclamation of Gov,.' Curtin' conVen
-4
bag the Legislature•several Weeks in advance
of tie time fixed for itsineeting, is in iiiponse
to an urgent necessity created by the late
rebel raid. But it will be regarded as a re
markable fact, when the history of the effort
to crush rebellion is written,. that a great
State like Pennsylvania, only discovered the
necessity of a thorough military organization
after three years of war had flashed its terrors
and danger along her border; and that only
now, in sight of the ashes of ruined and deso
lated Chambersberg, we suddenly find our
selves deficient in military discip'ine;trid,
as it were, at the mercy of the foe. These
facts are humiliating—because no State in
the Union abounds more in military genius
and material than our own. Oar troops, go
ing hence, many of them, almost as raw mi
litia, have carried themselves as bravely and
fought as effectively as veterans. This fact
alone, shotild bare given us a local military
organization in six months after the inaugu
ration of the war, such as would have impelled
every man to familiarize himself, with the use
of
. arms. Had this been done, every house in
the Commonwealth would .have been made
an arsenal and every citizen become a soldier.
And with such a discipline and organization
among the people, no possible danger could
have arisen, no emergency occurred, -for
which the authorities and- the people would
not have been prepared.
Henceforth a knowledge of the use of arms,
a practical acquaintance with a soldier's full
duty, will become as essential to the safety
of the State, as industry, thrift and affection
are necessary for the peace and comfort of a
family. For the next quarter of a century,
the peace and-unity of "theThatiori will rest
entirely on the military skill, force and en
ergy of the people. The strength and endur
ance of the Union will be lodged in the mili
tary power of the States thereof—a power to
be organized and disciplined by; 'the States,
alone for the use and benefit of the nation.
While this fact is kept in view, the strength
of the nation is maintained—and while that is
wall established, the interests and the exlS
ence of the States are secure.
—We trust that when the Legislature again
meets, all other business will be made to solo
serve the great object of securing this proper
organization and discipline of the
...ma.. -Lam.° is no exaggeration to assert
that Pennsylvania should at all times be able
to put into the field a hundred thousand dis
oiplined troops. There are that many active,
able-bodied men in the Commonwealth now,
who need but the legal force to compel this
organization, and whose service for any period
of three, six or even twelve months, would
not be seriously felt to the manufacturing or
mercantile interests of the people at large.
With such a force constantly in readiness—
With each man properly drilled and imbued
with a correct idea of discipline, we would
not only be safe from invasion, but the Com
monwealth would become a power in the
Union potent for its peace, its prosperity and
its glory. We earnestly hope and pray, then,
that wise councils will prevail at the coming
session of the Legislature. With the organi
zation of that session, the very life of the State
is placed at the disposal of our legislators.
Time must prove their regard for its solidity
and preservation.
A Word to Homes) Greeley.
The Neu) York 7 ibune and Horace arse , ley
are synonymous in reputation. Whatever
appears in the colunins 'of ,that aheek out of
which good can be manufactured, is claiine4
by the friends of Mr. Greeley . as his own—
and whatever the man does which . can be
rendered as so much capital ft:el:viz& the
support' of a journal, is at once appropriated
to the Tribune's account, Such at least is the
impression of a large number, of people Par
patrontze the/Hl:nate. They support it, not
because they believe it to be, more reliable
as a newspaper than any of -its cotemporaries;
but Ilttelaise they have a notiorr'that Mr;
Greeicy . is a just andu pure man, in whoSe
utterance they can fool; for
. 11 degree, of jn's
lice and fairness which many other men fail
to exhibit. But we submit it to the most ar
dent- friend of Mr. Greeley, whether,the
did not overstep the bounds of decOncy, truth
and humanity, baits coarse allusion)" to the ca
lamity that has overtaken our fellow citizens of
Chambersburg ? We submit it in all candor,
whether the reference made by Mr. Greeley, to'
the burning of Chambersburg; is n o t i n all
respects the exhibition of a brutality equalled
in its atrocity only by that of the deeds of the
actors in that hellish transaction. The invader
came inspired with hatred and crazed with
rum - he came trained for the brutish work—
but Mr. Greeley, deliberately and coolly. in the
quiet retreat of his sanctum, grasps - his pen,.
to ridicule, to contemn and to scent the
suffering of the people of Chembersburg.—
It is literally using the hot ashes of their
own homes to dry the tears of the women and
children of the people of Chambersburg. It
is absolutely mocking thacalamities of the-chi
and helpless, to feed the pedantic vanitp o(
a journalist who exhibits in his criticism
of the action of -a foe, a baseness himsolf,,
sufficient to dam him in the estimation of all:
true men. Mr. Greeley, by his coarse allusion
to the suffering of the-people-Of e.
berabtus forfeits the respect of the Aitiotile,
not only of Pennsylvania, but of gpod men
everywhere who are animated by the common
PaAlliOrindolefthq.tirtlifielkiitioli.dt
order and decency.
This is not the first time that the people of
Pennsylvania have been insulted by the mis
representations and the outrage of the press
and the4eople of New York. At present
there . resent these taunts and
4ibex but to lAroid and refuse .to Pationizt,
those whip'exhibit - this - disregard for 'truth and
justice. We wish it was possible for Mr.
Greeley to carry the Tribune, and read his arti
cics..M.,yestexday'a imme.on the subject of the
burning of Chamliersbnrg, to the people of the
Cumberland Valley. While thus engaged, he
could.learn the story of many an entrap; the
fact of the most heinous instills to weak wo
men, perpetrated by his own immediate
frienils and' zeigh'borS, tirdle their firofeiiiii
be here a year age for the defence of the border.
But we do not Wish to indulge in crimination,
We only desire to assure Mi. Greeley, that the
people of PetinsYlvania seek , no aid from such
as he, to relieve the homeless and starving
citizens of Chumbersburg. There axe hu
mane men in the land who-Will gladly extend
this succor. But let Horace Greeley remember
hereafter, that with all his professions of hu
manity and regard for the suffering, his
philanthropy is but a veil of flimsy profession,
through which can be seen the foiti hideons
ness of the hypocrite and the liar.
What the Sympathizers with. Rebellion
May Eaptet from thR,
There ha's been welass of men and women
in the loyal States, who have actively, ably
and earnestly sympathized with the' rebel ef-
Mite to destroy the present National-Adininia;
tration. These „fn.(); ignorant duped of -a
clique of base politicians have been tatight to:
believe that the triumph of Jeff Davis and his
armies implied merely the 6reithrow . of "Lin=
coin and the nigger worshippers." Hnrylieds
and thousands of 'strong- men and - goliipiting
women'in the loyal States have been-laboring
under the delusion that the conspiracy of the
slave-holders was merely an organization to
secure the extermination of the
lats." When that object was'.achieved, peace
aid the lash of the slave breeders Would again
rale,,guarded by the beautiful *influences of
that Democracy which trained the nplicilders
of negro slavery until their arrop.,arice showed
itself in treason, and their treason filled the
land with woe and ,deluged it with blood.
But this delusion , is fast ..being dispelled lzy i*
the praetical and indhiciiminatebrubdityti`

against a free Government. It is not against
e party that these men war—it is not against
individuals; that 'they battle "=it agaitnist the:
idea; the; ` prindiple, the' lope and ' the
glory of a great and free Government.
Hence, those who represent that Govern
ment in any particular—ovho represent
it in its present. administration, - -and
who aspire to represent it under nnw -awinis
trati
on ar.
..seu as enemies by the trai
.
tors. Look at Chambersburg. Was there
4.4 discrimination made by the invaders
when they seized that ill-fated borough'?
Did the ruffians as they traversed the -streets.
with their blazing torches and - 'consuming
turpentine balls, eminirei for the residences of
Democrats who believe in the rights of slavery,
that they might save their dwellings ? No
All homes were alike fired, because all, in the
estimation of the traitor foe, represent the idea
of northern freedom, of equnlity and of pros
perity ; and until these are destroyed, until
gar organization of society is broken up, and
the labor which is now free enslaved, the
conspiracy of the south will. nothave achieved
its objects. The fate of Ohambersburg would
be ; 'of Harrisburg, were the rebels, to
gain posseasiOn of the city. They have de
crefrl the desolation of the entire, free . North.
They have sworn to apply the torch to every
Ir!ee home in the free :States. The man who
does not belieieddi to be so, is but Ei misera
ble' dreamer, wasting his time in listless indif
ference, while all that he holds dear of wife
and home, are constantly in danger of de-
Araction. We must all then grin/ We must dis

laovernment Securities as
•
There is one view of investments in Govern
ment stocks which has not been generally
taken. If taken by shrewd capitalists and specu
lators, it has not-beengenerally ecinsidered by
the people. It is this : When, after a long sus
pension, specie payments are resumed, all
stocks and all prices immediately and largely .
decline ; but Government stocks DO NOD ma 2 -1
ter ally decline. This fact we assert on the
ground of historical experience. It is true that
in'the W 4. of 181245 Government stocks fell,
at one time, to 70 ; but most of the banks
were then suspended or bankrupt, and there
was comparatively little currency in the coun
try to buy stocks with. But suppose the gold
valuq,of Government 'Stocks were this day 70,
(the lowest they were ever till now sold at, )
Alio - Market valuee - at - ther-preSent rate - cirgold
would be 135, while in feet the stooks are sell
ing below 105. Supposing, then, that the
market price of Government securities were,
by the resumption of specie payments, to go
down to 70 in July; the decline would be 35 on
105, equivalent to 331 per cent., while the de
cline on a railroad stock- would be nearly or
quite equal to the whole present difference be
tween gold and paper. A common railroad
stock, selling now at 105, would'decline to 55,
or in th ebest supposable case, to 60. This
is illustrated by the history of every suspen
sion of specie payments we have had, and
there are many nattiness men who will
recollect what the prices of produse, stocks
and all saleable commodities) were after the
commercial revulsions of 1837 and 1839-
40. In 1841, '42 and '43, prices were. re
duced to a degree now scarcely credible. But
Government stocks did not fall materially. On
the contrary, it is a settled principle, deduced
from all experience in England and this coun
try, that Governmentfunds do net fluctuate to
the; same extent as other kinds of property.
There is good reason for it The time, rate of
interest, and security are all fixed and. perma
nent. There may be eome variations in the.
market price, owing' to the greater or legs
bulk of the entire currency, but 'there can be
none in the zintrinicio - vane; and lieneeit is,
that historically' the'fluctuations in the value
of Government stock have been comparative
ly small. In all the recent commercial fluc
tuations of England' (in some of which there
has been a complete prostration of all other
property,) the variation in British consols has
not been over five or`six per cent. This can
not be said of any other kind of stock. Of
railway and bank stocks the great variations
and at times wonderful depreciation are note
rions. Sudden .commercial revrtbiions have
reduced these stock's to one half tneir price.
iSuppitse, then,,that with gold say at 90 now,,
and Government stocks at ;105, there should
be a resumption of gold payments in one
year, (and this a Supposition which may
become a fackl what would be the relative ef
feet on three kinds of stock—say Govern
ment atlos, bank 118, and railroad at 120 ?
ID all human probability the .resumption of
gold payments in a year would brina them to
'these relative" prides, viz' :-Getvea7unentb
bnnk, 85; railroad, 70. ;
Judged by, historical .:experiende this would
be nearly the ,reiative result. Thecensequence,
then; is that the Govenimengfunds depreciate
15 per dent ; the liaialts2s, - and the ,railroads
50. . it;is more probable, if 'this statement be
thought erroneous, • that the actual reenlis
would beinuch ineralilevor ofiGtivOnnerit.
B,ut - we Merely gave this as au 41nstration of
a 'general historical truth, that On theyesump
lion of specie payments, or on the occurrence
of a great commercial convulsion, the fall in
Government stocks will lie failess, relatively,
than the fall in any other kind' of etc:tells.
The practical inference from this is plain. The
purehase of Government stocks'being made
fcir investment, it is afar .toesl - mid rru3r.-P.•
jn- eraottitre,,irien gold pay
ments will be resumed* than any other: •
Now nobody candiiriht that. the War (that
is; the great bulk and: expense of the- War, )„
will be over.= a year 'or so: and when that
occurs,' there will come. a gold . stanttard; and
then, *hen others" re lamenting over the fall
of Stocks; the holder of. Government loans
will haVe no fall to lament. He will,. in - fact,
profit by that change which injures the hold
ere of other property. -

The battle of the 2211 nit., was a flank attack
of the enemy upon otiflett. During that at
tack,,,the 17th Corps was partially cut np, but
not until it had repulsed several of the des

made on him, l• •

the rebels were driven , back . to their last line
