Weekly "Patriot & Union,"
THE CHEAPEST PAPER PUBLISHED IN
PENNSYLVANIA 1
AND
THE ONLY DEMOORATIO PAPER PUBLISHED AT
THE GNAT OP GOVERNMENT !
FORTY-FOUR COLUMNS OF READING MAT
TER EACH WEEK 1
AT THE /OW PRICE OF ONE DOLLAR
AND FIFTY CENTS!
WIDEN
SUBSCRIBED FOR IN CLUBS OP NOT LESS
THAN TEN COPIES TO ONE ADDRESS!
We have been compelled to raise the slab subscription
price to one dollar and fifty cents in order to save our
selves from actual loss. Paper has risen, including
taxes, about twenty-five per cent., and is still rising;
and when we tell our Democratic friends, candidly, that
we can no longer afford to sell the Weekly Paraior ANC
UNION at one dollar p year, and must add fifty cents or
stop the publication, we trust they will appreciate our
position, and, instead of Withdrawing their subscrip
tions, go to work with a will to increase our list in every
county in the State. We have endeavored, and shall
continue our efforts, to make the paper useful as a party
organ, and welcome ea a news messenger to - every fam
ily. We flatter ourselves that it has not been without
some influence in producing the glorious revolution in
the politica of the State achieved at the late election;
and if fearlessness in the discharge of duty, fidelity to
the principles of the party, and an anxious desire to pro
mote its interests, with some experience and a moderate
"gree of ability, can be made serviceable hereafter, the
Weekly PATRIOT AND UNION will not be leas useful to
the party or less welcome
,to the family circle in the fu
ture than it has 'been in the past. We confidently look
for increased encouragement in this great enterprise,
and appeal to every influential Democrat in the State to
lend As his aid in running our subscription list up to
twenty or thirty thousand. The expense to each indi
vidual is trifling, the benefit to the party may be great.
Believing that the Democracy of the State feel the ne
cessity of sustaining a fearless central organ, we make
this appeal to them for assistance with the fullest Confi
dence of success.
The same reasons which induce no to raise the price
of the Weekly, operate in regard to the Daily paper, the
price of which is also increasek The additional coat to
each eubscriber will be but, trifling and, while we can
not persuade ourselves that the change necesearilymade
will result in any diminution of our daily circulation,
yet, were we certain that such would be the cone
quence, we should still be compelled to make it, or oaf
fer a ruinous loss. Under these circumstances we must
throw ourselves upon the generosity, or, rather, the
justice of the public, and abide their verdict, whatever
it may be.
The period for which many of our subscribers have
paid for their paper being on the eve of expiring, we
take the liberty of issuing this notice, reminding them
of the same, is order that they may .
RENEW THEIR CLUBS.
We shall also take it as an especial favor if our present
subscribers will urge upon their neighbors the fact that
the PATRIOT AND UNION is the only Democratic paper
printed in Harrisburg, and considering the large amount
of reading matter, embracing all the current news of
the day, and
TELEGRAPHIC DISPATCHES .
Prom everywhere up to the moment the paper goes to
press, political, miscellaneous, general and local news
market reports, is decidedly the
CHEAPEST NEWSPAPER PTIELTSHED IN
THE STATE!
There is scarcely a village or town in the State in
which a club cannot be raised if the proper exertion be
made, and surely there are few places in which one or
more energetic men cannot be found who aro in favor of
the dissemination of sound Democratic doctrines, who
would be willing to make the effort to raise a club.
DEMOCRATS OF THE INTERIOR!
Let as hear from you. The existing war, and the ap•
proaching sessions of Congress and the State Legisla
ture, are invested with unwind interest, and every man
should have the news.

0. BARRETT & 00., Harriaburg, Pa
N. B.—The following law, passed by poogreas in 1860,
defines the duty of Postmodern in relation to the de
livery of new:Tapers to club subscribers :
(See Ltfas, Brown ¢ c0. , 5 edition of thej f ates of 1860.
page 38, chapter 131, secieots 1.)
) I Provided, however, that where packages of newttpir
pers or periodicals are received at any post office directed
to ono address, and the names of the club subscribers to
which they belong, with the postage for a quarter in ad
vance, shall be handed to the postmaster, he shall de
liver the same to their respective owners. ),
To enable the Postmaster to comply with this regula
tion, it will be necessary that he be furnished with the
list of names composing the club, and paid a quarter's
(or year's) postage in advance. The uniford courtesy
of Postmaiters, affords the assurance that they will
cheerfully accommoasto club subscribers, and the latter
should take care that the postage, which is but a trill*
in each case, bepaid in advance. bend on the clubs.

TUESDAY MORNING, MARCH 17. 1863
vuu DUMB GIRL.
[What an exquisite poetess has here chanced to be
the mother of a dumb child!)
She is my only girl;
I asked her for as some most preciona thing,
For all uneniehed was Love's jewelled ring,
Till set with this fair pearl;
The shade that Time brought forth I could not see ;
How pure, bow perfect, seemed the gift no me •
Oh, many a soft old tune
I used to sing onto that deadened ear, '
And suffered not the liehteet footstep near,
Lest she might trakd too 800 12
And hushed her brothers' laughter wbile she lay—
Ah ! needless care! I migkt have let them play.
'Tires long ere I believed
That this one daughter might not speak to me;
Waited and watched, add knows how patiently
How willingly deceived:
Vain Love Rp3 long the untiring nurse of Faith, ..;
And tended Hope until it pined 10 death.
• Oh! if she could but hear
For one short hour, till I her tongue might teach
To call me mother, in the broken speech
That thrills the mother's ear!
Alas ! those sealed lips never may be stirred
To the deep music of that lovely word.
My heart it sorely tires
To see her kneel, with such a reverent air,
Beside her brothers at their evening prayer;
Or lift those earnest eyes
To watch oar lips, as though our words she knew,
Then move her own, us she was speaking, too.
I've watched her looking up
To the bright wonder of a sunset sky,
With-such a depth of meaning in her eye,
That I could almost hope
The struggling soul would burst its binding cords,
And the long pent-up thoughts flow forth in words.
The song of tird and bee, .
•
The chorus of the breezes, streams and groves,
All the grand music to which Nature moves,
Are wasted melody
To her : the world of sound a tuneless void ;
While even Silence hath its charm destroyed.
Her face is very fair ;
'Her blue eye beautiful ; of finest mould
The soft white brow, o'er which, in waves of gold s
Ripples her shining hair.
Alas' this lovely temple dosed must be,
For He who made it keeps theroaster-key.
Wills He the mind within
Shopld from earth's Babel-clamor be kept free,
Even that His still, small voice and step might be
Ward at its inner shrine.
Through that deep Inieh of soul, with clearer thrill?
Then should I grieve? 0 murmuring heart, be still
She seems to have a sense
Of quiet gladness in her noiseless play ;
She nath a pleasant smile, a gentle way,
Whose voiceless eloquence
Touches all hearts, though I had once the fear
That even her father would not care for her.
Thank God it is not so !
And when his sons aro playing merrily,
She comes and leans'her head upon his knee
Oh! at such times I know—
By his full eye and tones subdued and mild—
How his heart yearns toward his silent child.
Not of all gifts bereft',
Even new. How conld I say she did not *lrak!
What real language lights her eye and cheek,
And render thanks to Rim who left
Unto her soul yet open avenues
For joy to enter, and for love to use.
And God in love doth give
To her defect a beauty of its own.
And we a deeper tenderness have known
Through that for which we grieve
Yet shall the seal be melted from her ear,
tea, and my voice shall fill it—but not here.
When that new sense is given,
what rapture will its first experiwinc.) be y
That novor woke to meaner melody
Than the rich songs of heaven—
To hear the fall-toned anthem swelling round,
While angels Leash the eestaeles of sourd
RAKE DISCOVERIES AT POMPEII.
Another most important discovery in Pom
peii. The directors and some men were work
ing away in a small, apparently poor house,
when their voices indicated that a great dis
covery had been made,and three or four visitors
who happened to be near were immediately
invited to the spot. In a small inner room,
employees and laborers are on their knees,
working with the utmost care, as if the finest
porcelain were being 'handled. On the upper
surface of the ashes, which as yet have not
been removed from .the neighborhood, are
standing boys, girls and men, with their bas
kets in their hands, all labor suspended, whilst
they are looking down on the curious scene
below.
The scene was, in truth, very picturesque,
and I wonder that sueh a subject has never
been seized by an artist. But what is it that
has been found i In an extreme corner of this
inner room have been discovered some human
bones—a rare thing in Pompeii, where most
of the population had time to escape. Fur
ther researches—and it was interesting to ob
serve with what extreme care and delicacy
they were conducted—revealed yet others, un
til the skeletons of five persons were visible,
four woman and an infant, all crouched up in
a corner. The sex and age of the victims, and
the very form in which they were found, are
suggestive of incidents and sufferings which
would promise materials for an affecting tale.
The arms seem to have been clasped as if all
hope had been abandoned, and they had come
there to die, whilst the lags were doubled up
with agony of their sufferings. The mouth of
one skeleton was open distended, and bard
must have been the last expiring efforts of
thatpoor person. The infant was in the ex
treme corner, where a mother's love perhaps
had placed it, in the hopes of its there finding
gre?Ler protection from the storm . of ashes
whifh was raging around them, and then pen
etrating into the most secret recesses of eve
ry banding. Poor, helpless women! they were
tooeak or too feeble to escape. and had been
aba doned by husband, father, brother —by

T ere were bronze armlets or bracelets
rou d their fleshless-bones; and by the side of
the lay what were evidently the remains of a
purl )
in which had been enclosed twenty sil
ver man coins and two copper coins. Of
COU o the material of the puree was imperfect,
and Was reduced to a mere tinder; still the
texture was perceptible, and this it was, which
contained the hurried gleaning) of the nnhap-
Toy party. There were considedable traces of
cloth, too. in the ashes, all around the bodies
or skeletons ; that is to say, on the ashes there
were impressions as of cloth which had been
laid ver them and then exposed to fire. The
probbility appeared to be that they were the
hiclot s of the wretched fugitives, for there
were impressions as if it were of folds.
It was about the distance of two and-a-half
feet above' the level of the ground that the
bones were found, and by cutting away the
mass,of ashes, the outlines of the bed, or what
ever it was. could be clearly discovered. In
deed; the holes in the ground where stood the
legs were discernable, Round what might
have been the joints, were still remaining bits
of iron; aid on the upper surface and upwards,
there were signs as if it were something similar
to columns.
Of course on the moment it was impossible
to decide what precisely the article of furni
ture was, which now was pulverized and a
little discussion took place as to whether it
had been a table or a bed, but opinions in
clined to the latter supposition, and so let it be ;
but if so, what a bed, and what a night of
eternal repose it was which closed around
them, under the fire and ashes of Vesuvius !
PRICE TWO CENT
FRAUDS OF GOVERNMENT -OFFICE S.
Prom the Journal of Commerce
The last hours of the late Congress were
appropriately occupied in a desultory but
somewhat pointed discussion of frauds on the
country, and singularly, enough the discussion
included charges of frduds on each other by
members of the Investigating Committee. We
have become horribly familiar in this country,
since the war began, with these+ charges of
fraud, and It is a noteworthy circumstance
that while radical politicians profess the ut
most abhorrence of traitors and bytnpathizers
with traitors, they do not have the slightest
antipathy to associate themselves politically
and personally with men notoriously guilty, of
crimes which are fully as great as the crimes
of the southern enemies who fire shot and shell
at the armies of the Union.
The record is a fearful one. No words are
adequate to describe the extent and magnitude
of the criminality of the men who are robbing
us of treasure and blood. They shrink at
othing in the way of fraud. And the exam t
pled civilians extends to some political-CA
cers who are in, but ought to be thrust out of,
the army.
A newspaper correspondent thus sums up a
portion of a debate in the Senate on Monday:
Some of the most damaging and damning
charges or the war and of the present Congress
were made in the Senate of the United States
to-day, and on all aides of the Chamber. The
debate was upon the bill to regulate trade with
the States in insurrection. The following were
among the statements :—By Mr. Henderson
(Union, Mo.)—The charges made are appalling,
and I decline to repeat them because they are
under investigation. I believe these charges
to be true, from information in my possession.
Mr. Chandler (Republican, of Michigan,) says
military Union officers have been guilty of
pillaging from the rebels, and of dividing the
spoils among themselves ! Laige sums have thus
been seized, held and divided by " certain gen
eral-officers!' Mr. C. was asked by Mr. Pow
ell to name these officers, but declined to do
so,as they were before the war Department.
Mr. Davis (Union, of Kentucky,) made the
charge before given and connected with the
transit of flour from the Belize to New Orleans
($lO a barrel for flour in a tug transferred to
. a relative of the commanding general of the
department, the flour then selling at New Or
leans for $6O a barrel.)
Mr. Lane (Republican, of Kansas,) said he
knew of a brigadier general who, having re
ceived a number of slaves (18, I believe,)
within his camp, gave them up to the owner
in consideration of receiving forty-eight bales of
cotton ! The custom, said Mr. Lane, was for
commanders to give permits to bring cotton
and for military commanders to receive a per
tentage for the permits and protection thus
afforded. These transactions had greatly de
moralized the army.
Mr. Chandler, at a later stage of the debate,
charged that the Senate had deliberately voted
to continue the present demoralization in the
army, and to uphold the t4ieves, plunderers and
robbers in the service.
These statements, it will be observed, relate
exclusively to robberies 11 men attached to the
army. They do not characterize the army ex
tensively. They are exceptional cases, and
probably always cases of politicians who are
temporarily in the military service, whither
they went solely to make money. All readers
are familiar with the recently published state
ments that pianos and other furniture from
Southern houses are in New England homes,
and that New England clergymen are not
ashamed to show in their libraries books plun
dered from Southern bookshelves.
This pillaging and plunder by individuals,
for private emolument, ought not to be coun
tenanced by any man of good moral sentiments.
The receiver is as criminal as the thief. All
such articles, if seized for military purposes
or in the fortunes of war, should be handed
over at once to the government, to whose
custody they belong, and State laws or United
States laws should be enacted punishing with
proper degradation every man and woman in the
North who is a receiver of such plunder, to
which no law of civilized warfare can give
them any title. Sheriffs should be sent with
search warrants into houses where proper com
plaints describe such goods as detained by any
one.
This custom of plundering—plundering the
government, plundering our own soldiers,
plundering .the enemy—marks with a fearful
stigma our character as a people. And the
reason that it continues is simply that radical
men are utterly reckless as to what a man is
or does if he only lends himself to carry out
their anti-slavery views. It is hopeless to ex
pect from them any punishment of such crimes
when the punishment will fall Bret on the mints
in the Abolition church.
Why ie it that in Pennsylvania and New
York men who are notoriously guilty of these
crimes retain their high standing? How is it
that men walk our streets unblushing who have
been convicted of the most infamous conduct
in the matter of handling government con
tracts, business, or money ? How happens it
that men are rather thought to be wide awake
fellows who have swindled the country out of
a few hundred thousand dollars? The history
of the world shows no such mass of corruption,
fraud and depravity as the investigations of
the last two years are now exhibiting in Amer
ica. And they continue and will continue as
long as religion, principle, honor, honesty, and
everything else are subordinated in the minds
of men to the accomplishment of Abolitionism
or any other object. We often hear conserva
tive men abused in round phrases on account
of the bad political reputation of some men
who act in their ranks. We always laugh at
the abuse, for we can make lists of the chief
men in certain radical circles and mark against
scores of the names the true record, " Defrauder
and swindler of his government in the hour of
that government's peril." And the worst of it
is that the radical policy always shields such
men, uses their money for party purposes, and
even gives them position and office to enable a
continuance of their conduct. It is no answer
to say that' other parties have done so in other
times. Two wrongs never make a right, and
this wrong is unparalleled in history.
It is time to reflect. There is no principle
of freedom, no right secured by the Constitu
tion, no personal protection or property guard
of the citizen, which has not been attacked by
this radical party. Liberty of speech, freedom
of the press, privacy of house and papers,
privilege of the habeas corpus, right of speedy
trial b' jury, all have been invaded, and the
people submitted because they thought all was
for the Union. But they did not submit be
cause they thought it necessary to accomplish
the freedom of the negro, nor to enable politi
cians and their pets to fill their pockets with
plunder, and make the war cost a hundred per
cent. more than it would if the administration
were honestly supported by honest patriots.
Investigation is of no use unless punishment
be awarded. Popular indignation is led by
personal conduct. If Mr. A, an honest -man,
treats with courtesy and familiarity Mr. B, a
fraudulent contractor, the friends of Mr. A will
probably do . so too. But when respectable
citizens decl ine to know or speak to these dis
honest, convicted robbers of the army and the

PLATFORM OF KENTUCKY.
The following resolutions hare been adopted
by both houses of the Kentucky Legislature :
• 1. Resolved, That our institutions are as
sailed by an armed rebellion on one side,whieh
can only be met by the sword ; and on the
other by unconstitutional sets of Congress,
and startling usurpations of power by the Ex
ecutive, which we have seen by experiment
can be corrected by the ballot-box. Policy, as
well as principle, requires that Kentucky shall
await the process of reform, which is slow but
sure, and refrain from all unlawful and uncon
stitutional acts which have already brought
terrible calamities upon the country ;
we invoke the aid of all patriotic men to avert
'ie evils that threaten - our free institutions.
2. Resolved, That this Getwepesembly de
clares, as before it has oftentimes deolarnd.
that the State of Kentucky bath ever been, and
is;Aoyal to the government of the United States
of America, and is determined to maintain that
loyalty against both domestic and foreign'firs.
3. Resolved, That this General Assembly re
cognizes a manifest difference between any
administration of the government and the go- .
vernment itself—the one is transitory, limited
in duration only to that period of time for
which the officers elected by the people are
charged with the con, of the same ; the
other is permanent, iziNnded by its founders
to endure forever.
4. Resolved, That this General Assemby now,
in the exercise of its right to differ in opinion
with the National Executive, enters its solemn
protest against the proclamation of the Presi
dent of the United States, dated lst of Janu
ary, 1863, by whieh he assumes to emancipate
all slaves within certain States, holding the
same to be unwise, unconstitutional and void.
5. Resolved, That this General Assembly de
clares that the power which has recently been
assumed by the President of the United States,
whereby, under the guise of military necessity,
he has proclaimed and extended martial law
over States where war did not exist, and has
suspended the' writ of habeas corpus, is unwar
ranted .by the Constitution, and its tendency
is to subordinate civil to military authority,
and to subvert constitutional and free govern
ment.
6. Resolved, That this General Assembly de
clines to accept the President's proposition for
emancipation, as contained in his proclamation
of the 19th May, 1862.
7. Resolved, That this General Assembly
deems it proper further to declare that it, to
gether with all the loyal people of - the State,
would hail with pleasure and delight any man
ifestation of a desire on the part of the seceded.
States to return to their , allegiance to the gov
ernment of the Union, and would, in such
event, cordially and earnestly co-operate with
•them in the restoration of peace, and the pro
curement of such guarantees as would give
security to all their interests and rights. ' •
8. Resolved, That Kentucky will adhere to
the Constitution and the Union, as the best,
it may be the last, hope of popular freedom ;
and for all wrongs which may have been com
mitted, or evils which may exist, will seek re
dress under the Constitution and within the
Union, by the peaceful but powerful ,and
irresistible agencies of the suffrages of a free
people.
9. Resolved, That this General Assembly
hails with pleasurable hope the recent mani
festations of conservative sentiment among the
people of the non-slaveholding States •in their
late elections, and regard the same as the ear
nest of a good purpose on their part• to co
operate with all other loyal citizens—give se
curity to the rights of every section, and
maintain the Union and the Constitution as
they were ordained by the founders of the Re
public.
10. Resolved, That in the judgment of this
General Assembly, a convention should 'be
called for the purpose of proposing such amend
ments to the National Constitution as experi
ence has proved to be necessary to maintain
that instrument in the spirit and meaning of
its founders; and to that end we reaffirm and
adopt the resolutions recommending a call for
a convention of the UniLed States, approved
Jan. 25th, 1861.
,•
11. Resolved, That the laws of this State
must be maintained and enforced, and that it
is the duty of the constituted authoritce of
the State to see to it, that by all constitutional
means this indispensableiend shall be attained.
12. Resolved, That the Governor be requested
to forward a copy of these resolutions to the
President of the 'United States, and to the
Governer of each State, with a request that he
lay the same before the Legislature of his
State, and to each of our Senators and Repre
sentatives in Congress. Our Senators are in
structed, and our Representatives requested,
to use their best efforts to accomplish the ob
jects of these resolutions.

ERNIVIENT.
On the subject of encroachments' by the Fed
eral Government, Mr. Madison, in one of his
papers in the Federalist, remarks :
"Ambitious encroachments of the Federal
government, on the authority of the State
governments, would not excite the opposition
of a single State, or of a few States only.—
They would be signals of general alarm.—
Every government would espouse the common
cause. A correspondence would be opened.—
Plans of resistance would be concerted. One
spirit would animate and conduct the whole_
Thesame combination, in short, would result
from an apprehension of the federal, as was
produced by the dread of a foreign yoke.; and
unless the projected innovations should be vol—
untarily renounced, the same appeal to a trial
of force would be made in the one ease, as was
made in the other." * * * *
That the people and the States should, for
a sufficient period of time, elect an uninterrup
ted succession of men ready to betray both ;
that the traitors should,throughout this period,
uniformly and systematically pursue some fixed
plan for the extension of the . military estab
lishment ; that the governments and die people
of the States should silently and patiently
behold the gathering storm, and continue to
supply the materials, until it should be pre
pared to burst on their own heads, must appear
to every one more like the incoherent dreams
of a delirious jealousy, or the :misjudged ex
aggerations of a counterfeit zeal, than like the
sober apprehension of genuine patriotism.—
Extravagant as the supposition is, let it how
ever be made. Let a regular army, fully equal
to the resources of the country, be formed;
and let it be entirely at the devotion Of the
Federal Government ; still it would Dot be
going too far to say, that the State govern
meets, with the people on their side, would be
able to repel the danger." * *
Besides the advantage of being armed which
the Americans possess over the people of al
most every other nation, the existence of su
bordinate governments, to which the people are
