Their Reasons.
We print this morning the reasons of the
Democratic members of the Senate for voting
against the bill which passed the Legislature,
appropriating $500,000 to be disbursed by a
Military Commission in re-organizing the mili
tary of the Commonwealth. These reasons
constituted a sufficient justification for that vote
at the time it was given. Hostilities had not
commenced by the act of the Confederate States
—nor had the President of the United States
issued his proclamation calling upon the States
to come to the assistance of the Government in
vindicating its authority. The objections are
confined principally to the defects or emissions
in the act, and not to its purpose. Since the
President has called upon the militia of this
State to maintain the existence of the Govern
ment to which we all owe allegiance, there
is no room for differences of opinion as to our
duty. With one voice Pennsylvania will re
spond to the summons, and show that her peo
ple are now, as ever, ready to obey the call of
their country.
Events Preceding the Assault upon Fort
Sumpter.
The real destination and object of the fleet
sent by the Government to the South, as well
as the nature of the negotiations which pre
ceded the attack of the Confederate batteries.
upon Fort Sumpter, is still involved in doubt
and uncertainty. All we know is that several
vessels crossed the bar and entered the harbor
of Charleston, while the battle was progressing,
without striking a blow or attempting to afford
assistance to the beleaguered garrison. Their
instructions may have prevented them from
taking any part in the conflict. The following
narrative, published in the Baltimore American
before the assault upon Sumpter, gives the most
straightforward and plausible account of the
events preceding that transaction :
Nearly four weeks since the President and
Cabinet, on the representation of General
Scott, decided to evacuate Fort Sumpter as a
military necessity—that is to say, the rein
forcing and provisioning of it was not deemed
essential, in view of the cost of blood and
treasure it would require to accomplish the
purpose. This decision of the President was
communicated to Major Anderson by a special
messenger, with instructions to open negotia
tions with the military authorities at Charles
ton to carry the project into execution.
These negotiations have been progressing
ever since, and the numerous messengers that
have been passing between Charleston and
Washington have communicated to Major An
derson the instructions of the Government and
to the President the demands of the authorities
of the Southern Confederacy. It is understood
that Major Anderson refused, under instruc
tions, an unconditional surrender of the fort
ress to the Confederacy, but proposed to aban
don it with his garrison, leaving the fort in
possession of a corporal and two privates, to
protect the property of the Government, and
leave it thus to await future events. He is also
understood to *have demanded of General
Beauregard that a pledge should be given him
that no attempt should be made to take posses
sion of it after the evacuation Of the garrison,
and that the officer left in charge should not be
molested, or his possession as the nominal rep
resentative of the Government interfered with.
This proposition did not meet the views of
General Beauregard, who demanded that the
flag of the United States should be saluted and
lowered, as was done at the Pensacola Navy
Yard, and that a formal surrender of the fort
should be made by the -Government of the Uni
ted States to the Government of the Southern
Confederacy, and the Confederacy flag of seven
stars raised on the flag staff and saluted.
This demand, which. ivould ,be a virtual re
cognition by the President and Major Anderson
of the existence of the Southern Confederacy,
was firmly refused, and the decision of Major
Anderson was subsequently sustained and ap
proved by the President and his Cabinet. Thus
matters stood up to the commencement of last
week, when General Beauregard intimated to
Major Anderson that, if the demand of the
Confederacy was not complied with, an order
would be immediately issued to ant off all fur
ther communication between the fort and
Charleston, and that his regular supplies of
marketing would be stopped. This fact was
brought to Washington by Colonel Lamon, as
the ultimatum of the Confederacy. A Cabinet
meeting was then called, and it is said that the
refusal to make a formal surrender of the fort
and the lowering of the flag wan. unanimously
re-affirmed.
Immediately after this decision orders were
given for the military and naval preparations
that have since occasioned much excitement,
the object being to use them if necessary in
relieving the garrison of Major Anderson from
threatened starvation, and maintaining the
dignity of the Government and the honor of
the flag in Charleston harbor; or, if not re
quired there, to dispatch the expedition to
Texas to maintain the treaty stipulations of the
Government on the frontier, and drive back
the Indians and Mexicans who are threatening
to invade the State,
In the meantime Lieutenant Talbot was dis
patched by Major Anderson to Washington
with further information as to the condition of
affairs, in which rumor says that Major Ander
son urged the Government not to allow the flag
which he had so long maintained in the face of
his besiegers to be humbled as they required
—and to compel the gallant men who had stood
so nobly by him, including the mechanics who
could have left him if they bad desired, to witn ess
the humiliating sight of any flag but that of
their country floating from its battlements.
This account farther states that as soon as
information was received at Washington that
General Beanregard had cut off the supplies
from Fort Sumpter, the President dispatched a
messenger to Charleston, with instructions to
Major Anderson to notify the Confederate au
thorities that the Government proposed imme
diately to dispatch an unarmed vessel with food
for the garrison at Fort Sumpter; and that he
Was instructed, if the vessel should be fired
upon, to return the fire from the fort. The
messengerarrived at Charleston, butwas denied
the opportunity of communicating with Fort
Sumpter. We know what followed. The ex
pedition started from New York, and immedi
ately the secession batteries opened upon Fort
Sumpter, which, in its almost defenceless con
dition, was compelled to surrender.
This account, which is certainly plausible
and consistent, will, if it turns out to be correct,
serve to explain the apparent change of policy
on the part of the Administration with refe
rence to the evacuation of Fort Sumpter, and
at the same time remove all doubts as to the
responsibility of ;the Confederate Government
in commencing the war. It appears that the
Administration was willing to withdraw the
garrison from the fort, but not to surrender it
unconditionally--in other words, to abandon it
as a menacing fortification, but to hold it under
guard as property. This proposition was re
fused; the fort was carried by assault, and the
war commenced by the Confederate authorities.
A False Issue.
We are aware that a time like this, when the
people of Pennsylvania, without distinction of
party. are rushing to arms in obedience to the
call of their country to vindicate its assailed
authority, is not the time to discuss party poli
tics or to weigh the causes which have led to
this fearful struggle ; but we cannot permit the
Telegraph to misrepresent us - without a word of
reply. That paper has used its utmost en
deavers to excite against us the same - violence
which has disgraced other places, and to glut
private vengeance under the shield of public
patriotism. Clamoring loudly for free speech
and a free press, it is among the foremost to
counsel an abridgment of the inalienable rights
of every freeman—and when the people with
one accord are rising to establih law and order,
it furnishes encouragement to the spirit of law
lessness and anarchy.
While we unite cordially and earnestly in
support of the Government against those who
have defied its authority and disgraced its flag,
we know of no rule that compels us to reverse
our settled convictions, that this conflict might
have been avoided. We believe that sectional
animosity, North as well as South. has been
the cause of this war—and situated, as we
have been, where one peculiar form of this
animosity has prevailed, we have deemed it
our duty to combat it to the utmost of our abil
ity, and, if possible, to induce a peaceful set
tlement of our difficulties. With this end in
view, it would have been criminal on our part
had we labored to intensify the already too
intense feeling against the South, and defeated
the very purpose we had in view—peaceable
adjustment. But the moment the seceded States
showed by their conduct, in commencing war,
that they did not desire peace, and that further
exertions in this behalf would be unavailing,
if not treasonable, we never for a moment hesi
tated as to our duty, and the duty of those who
hold political opinions similar to our own, to
sustain and assist the Government by every
means in our power.
The Telegraph shows more of sectional ani
mosity than of patriotism in its course.' It
requires Democrats not only to support the
Government, but to renounce their political
convictions. This they cannot do as long as
the right of private judgment is permitted.—
We are willing to forget the past in the pressing
exigencies of the present, and to know no other
cause than that of our country, until its power
and honor are vindicated; but we are not wil
ling to join in a crusade against the Democratic
party or to deny its faith.
The Telegraph advises us "to join in this
"Christian, and patriotic, and Republican un
dertaking of crushing slavery forever on the
" ramparts itself has erected for the destruction
"of liberty." We can never subscribe to such
an atrocious sentiment as this. Does the Tele
graph mean to invite the country to such an
issue ? Does it mean to affirm that the peo
ple are now rushing to arms—not to defend
the honor of a flag which still waves over
slave as well as free States—not to protect a
Constitution which guarantees to each State
the right of determining its own domestic insti
tutions ; but to engage in the "Republica-2ra
" dertaking of crushing slavery forever?" Are
we going to war for the purpose of maintaining
the Government, and, if possible, restoring the
Union, or is it merely an undertaking to crush
slavery forever? The Telegraph is entirely
misled by partizan animosity when it attempts
to plant the Government upon such narrow
and destructive ground as this—and we are
satisfied that nine-tenths of the Republican
party will repudiate any such intention. War
is now necessary for the preservation of the
Government, and its object is not to carry out
the extreme doctrines of a fraction of the Re
publican party. The Telegraph has committed
as great a blunder as when it pronounced John
Brown a hero, and a "glorious exemplar."
REASONS,
Entered upon the Journal of the Senate of Penn
sylvania, of the Democratic Members of that
Body, for voting against the act passed on Fri
day, Apra 12, 1861, entitled "An Act for the
Better Organization of the Militia of the Com
monwealth."
The undersigned, members of the Senate,
desire to place upon the Journal their reasons
for voting against the bill passed in this body
on Friday, April 12th, A. D. 1861, entitled
"An Act for the better organization of the
Militia of the Commonwealth."
The act provides for the appointment, by the
Governor of Pennsylvania, of a military com
mission, clothed with full and extraordinary
powers to re-organize the militia of the Com
monwealth. The nature and character of the
organization proposed is not set forth in the
act, and is, therefore, entirely unknown to the
members of the Senate and House of Repre
sentatives. The Constitution expressly de
clares, that " the freemen of this Common
wealth shall be armed, organized, and disci
plined for its defence, when, and in such manner
as may be directed by law;" and, further, that
"the military shall, in all cases and at all
times, be in strict subordination to the civil
Power." Under the provisions of the act
aforesaid, unlimited authority is vested in a
military commission, whose members are to act
independently of the Legislature; and thus the
which alone should control
law-making power,
and direct the organization desired in the pre
sent and in all emergencies, is deprived of the
privilege of acting upon the details of a system
which is of the most vital importance to the
citizens of Pennsylvania. If the "civil power"
must blindly yield to a military supremacy, it
will be an easy transition to pass from known
and existing laws to a military despotism sus
tained and upheld by a standing army. Since
the opening of the present session no attempt
has been made by the majority in this body to
re-organize the militia in a proper and consti
tutional manner, and the representatives of the
people have not been permitted to deliberate
upon any measure to remedy the evils in our
military system which this act now proposes to
cure. Before the undersigned could give their
sanction to any system of re-organization they
must know its details—this is clearly their
constitutional right—and they should not be
called upon to place this important subject en
tirely and unreservedly in the hands of an un
known military commission.
The heavy burthens resting upon the people
demand that all expenditures from the public
treasury should be made with caution, and,
when made, should be guarded with proper
and necessary restrictions. While the peculiar
system of re-organization is closely veiled from
the public eye, the manner of disposing of the
enormous sum appropriated in the act afore
said is equally vague and undefined. This act,
in effect, makes the Governor of the Com
monwealth the disburser of half a million of
dollars, if so much may be needed, and con
tains no provisions for a proper discretionary
power on the part of the accounting officers of
the Government in the allowance and settle
ment of the accounts. The sum appropriated
may be used well—it may just as readily be
expended improperly—this will depend in a
great measure upoi the character of the mili
tary commission appointed by the Governor,
the names of which have not yet been presented
to the Senate for its approval and confirmation.
It is our unquestioned duty as Legislators to
put this State in a condition to repel invasion,
to suppress insurrection, and to • defend our
borders in time of war. For these purposes,
by the second section of the eleventh article of
the Constitution, we are authorized to contract
debts. Had the evidence been furnished to us
that either of these causes existed, we would
most cheerfully have joined in supporting any
proper and constitutional measure demanded
by the exigencies of the times. Again, it is our
manifest duty as a State, willingly to respond to
any requisition made upon us by the President
of the United States to support the General
Government, to protect the public property and
to enforce the laws. At the time the bill was
under consideration no such requisition had
been made, either directly or indirectly, to the
knowledge of the undersigned. But in order
clearly to evince our desire and intention to
respond to any such requisition, we asked the
privilege of voting for the last clause of the third
section of the act aforesaid. This privilege
was not granted, and we were, therefore, com
pelled, by a strict sense of duty, and for the
reasons hereinbefore stated, to cast our votes
against the entire bill.
That the citizens of this State will never fail
to respond to such a requisition, is attested by
the eagerness with which Ler patriotic sons
rushed to the support of our National flag in
the war with Mexico. That they will do
so again in obedience to a call of the Chief
Executive of the Nation, no one will doubt;
and in all his constitutional efforts to uphold
the Government, to protect ita property, to
maintain its laws, and to guard the National
flag from insult and dishonor, he will receive
the cordial, enthusiastic and determined support
of the united people of this Commonwealth.

APRIL 16th, 1861.
Cynthia Ann Parker was about two months
ago recovered from the Comanches by Captain
Ross, after having been a captive in their hands
for twenty-five years. She was captured on
the 19th day of May, 1836, at Parker's Fort,
at the head of the Navasoto. Her father, Silas
Parker, John Parker, her grand-father, and
Benjamin Parker, were all killed ; also, Samuel
Frost and his son, Robert Frost, then a young
man, making five persons killed. Her grand
mother was wounded, and left as dead, but
afterwards recovered. There were four other
prisoners taken by the Indians at the same
time—Elizabeth Kellogg, Rachel Plummer, her
son games Platt Plummer, about 18 months
old, and John Parker, a brother of Cynthia,
and about seven years old, Cynthia being nine
years old. Elizabeth Kellogg was bought by
the Kickapoos some six months after, and, from
them soon after purchased by her Mende.—
She has since dead. Rachel Plummer was
with the Indians two years, and was brought
by some Santa Fe traders and restored. Cyn
thia Ann states, through an interpreter, that
her brother John died with the small-pox eight
or ten years after his captivity. The youngest
captive, James Pratt Plummer, was recovered
when about seven years old, and is now living
near Springfild, Mass. Cynthia Ann is now
entirely unable to speak our language, and can
converse only through an interpreter. She is
84 or 35 years old, appears in good health, and
has a very sprightly child about two years old.
At first, after her recovery, she was afraid of
being killed by her countrymen, for the Co
manches had taught her to think so. She be
lieved the Comanches were the most numerous
and powerful people in the world, and only
now begins to learn that she had been deceived.
She was aware that she was an American.—
Her complexion is quite fair still, but her body
and arms bear the marks of having beeu cru
elly treated.
A LONG-LOST SON DISCOVERED.—An infant
boy was stolen from his father and mother at
St. Louis, nearly 24 years ago, by a hunter
who had lost his wife and child, and "wanted
something that would love him." Re hurried
the child into the wilderness, employed a half
breed woman to nurse it, and not until recently
was its long bereaved mother able to obtain
any definite information of her missing son.—
She had become a widow, and had lived in Al
bany, Rochester, Buffalo, Detroit, and other
.places—"seeking rest and finding none." By
means of a young sporting friend, who fre
quently met the old hunter and his ward in the
far west, and adroitly cross questioned him,
the truth was ascertained, and the mother and
son were last week re-united at Detroit, after a
separation of almost a quarter of a century.—
The poor woman's hair had grown white with
age and anxiety, and her son will now gladly
adopt civilized habits.
STAND BY THE OLD FLAG.—Now that war has
lommenee , l—no matter who is at fault—it is
the duty of all our citizens, irrespective of party,
to stand by the oil flag, with its glorious stars
and stripes, and support the Government in all
proper and legitimate efforts to bring the con
test to a successful issue. The first blow was
struck by the Secessionists, and now it becomes
the duty of every patriot to lend his aid in
sustaining the honor of our common country.
If we have a Government that is capable of
protecting and perpetuating itself, this is the
time to exert its strength, and the people must
stand by it no matter who is at the helm. We
go for our country, our whole country, and
nothing but our eountry..—Lancaster . intelligence.
SHARP PRACTICE AMONG GANELERS.—Re
centIy there was some heavy play at Albany,
between some gamblers of that city and others
of New York. The New Yorkers were taken
for seven thousand dollars, but only about two
thousand in cash passed hands. The balance
was given in a check upon the New York bank.
The winners took the earliest train, next morn
ing, for the big city, and on arrival hastened
to the bank designated in the check ; here they
found that payment of the same had been
stopped, a telegram, so directing it to be, hav
ing been sent on by the losers. There was
plenty of money there to the credit of the
makers of the check, but not a cent for the
holders thereof. This was a serious disap
pointment to the parties who had expected to
be made round-shouldered in lugging the mo
ney home. They made the best of it, however,
and on next meeting the losers, the matter was
compromised, by the payment, in all, of twenty
five hundred dollars. This may place the losers
on probation for a while, if it does not place
them in entire disrepute with the fraternity.
ALONE IN LlFE.—What can be more discour
aging than the feeling that in our struggle
through life, in our trials and disappointments,
there are none to sympathize and care for us !
No man can go far with strength, courage and
cheer, if he goes alone. We are made to be
happier and better by each other's notice, ap
preciation, help and praise ; and the hearts
that. are debarred from these influences inva
riably wither, harden and break. Here and
there are found persons who from pride, per
verseness, or often their sensitiveness, (which
they seek to bide) affect to be altogether inde
pendent of the notice or regard of their fellow
beings; but it was a very safe assertion to make,
that ncver yet was there one human heart that
did not, at some time, long for the sympathy
of other heats. And there is a nobility in this
feeling.
